Chapter 2880 Unworthy?
All the sorcerers know that it is extremely difficult to see the Child Ancestor smile.
However, there was a hint of something else in the big-headed boy's smile, something indescribable: "Is this... my turn?"
He has lived for tens of thousands of years, while the True Venerable opposite him is still a child who is less than a thousand years old. How could he not understand this look in his eyes?
Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "I'm sorry, senior, could you... please buy me a little more time?"
"Huh?" Tong Zu smiled again upon hearing this, his eyes lighting up with obvious delight. "So fast? You're confident?"
“It’s still a little short,” Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, then gave a bitter laugh, “Confidence… does it really matter whether you have it or not?”
"That's true..." Big-Headed Boy nodded, then muttered, "We have no other choice!"
The phantom of the giant axe reappeared, reaching a height of 100,000 kilometers, but this time the process of transforming from phantom to reality was quite slow.
It took more than an hour for the giant axe to finally solidify.
The omnipresent darkness obscured most of the cultivators' senses, but they could still feel the faint cracks on the giant axe.
A pang of guilt flashed through Qu Jianlei's mind, but he quickly banished it—a kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances!
Faced with such a life-or-death situation, even he himself was mentally prepared for his demise. Where would he find the leisure to wallow in sorrow and lament?
He didn't even pay attention to the giant axe anymore, but instead focused on connecting with the Dao stele.
The faint fluctuations around the contact area between the Dao stele and the gray area were still gradually spreading.
The darkness within the realm seemed to have been drawn over as well, but... it wasn't very clear how it was observed.
"This is... a confrontation from a higher dimension?" A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the colorful butterfly.
Qingkong was determined to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If he succeeded in turning the tide this time, he would have a super foundation and would have one foot in the door.
Therefore, he has a strong interest in exploring these advanced and mysterious things.
"Shh, watch your words," True Monarch Yugiri warned him in time, as some things were best left unsaid.
“It’s alright,” the metal net joined in. “The true form of the Dao Stele has already appeared. Facing higher dimensions… is there any need to pretend we can’t see it?”
The current struggle can already be considered a dimensional war, so what is there left to hide?
“Then this fluctuation…” Song Yue’er frowned, “isn’t it a bit weak?”
“It’s because we can’t perceive more,” Han Weizhen, another member of the sub-array, unexpectedly interrupted their discussion.
The appearance of the Dao Stele itself not only drew away some hatred, but more importantly, it changed everyone's mindset.
At least he had the time to notice what his companions were talking about.
However, Han Wei's words were too blunt: "The aftershocks of their battle are beyond our level... to be affected by!"
This statement... is just a bit too much, but thankfully people aren't intolerant of the truth.
Jin Ge went even further, saying, "This is a good thing, at least the damage to the Star Realm won't be too great."
Xiao You also heard their discussion, but she was not puzzled as to why this ultimate battle was so lukewarm.
At this moment, what she was worried about was, "This Dao Stele... tsk, Master, what do you think?"
"I don't know," said True Monarch Qingxia, who really enjoyed training his disciples.
However, the next moment, he sensed Han Li and felt a little conflicted... Did that guy come or not?
At this moment, the Möbius strip was focused on sensing the state of the Dao stele—could it hold up?
Previously, her senses were not able to get close to this being; she could only approach it when the other party was in a fierce confrontation.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the stele finally stopped growing taller. The space around the stele began to tremble even more violently.
At the same time, the giant axe grew to a height of over 100 million kilometers, but Tong Zu never controlled it to launch an attack.
Qu Jianlei didn't care about this at all; he had plenty of things to do and chose to fully trust the other party.
Two days later, the Big-Headed Boy finally moved, wielding his giant axe and slowly slashing outwards from the formation.
It wasn't as understated as facing an endless twilight, but rather as if pushing an exceptionally heavy object.
It's unclear whether he was reluctant to risk further injury from the giant axe, or whether the axe had become too difficult to wield.
With that slow, deliberate axe strike, the omnipresent darkness ahead began to tremble slightly, growing more and more violently.
Finally, just as the giant axe was about to be swung directly in front, the gray area began to slowly cave in.
It wasn't cut open, it wasn't cracked; the grayness was like a large lump of elastic glue, only forced to shrink back under pressure.
Not only does it appear extremely resilient, but it also gives the impression that it could bounce back at any moment.
"Wow," upon seeing this, several True Venerables twitched their lips. This was just too solid!
However, upon seeing this, the three great shamans exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment and a hint of suspicion.
Finally, the Great Witch Xiang nodded thoughtfully: Tong Zu probably didn't use his full strength!
Otherwise, even if it were a secondary product, a dignified Heaven-Opening Strike wouldn't be this bad, right?
As for why the Ancestral Witch held back... that's beyond the knowledge of the three of them.
The big-headed boy maintained this attack for a full half hour before slowly withdrawing it.
The dull-colored elastic rubber began to rebound, but thankfully it was quite slow.
The Möbius strip lacked the perception of the three great shamans—mainly because it was unfamiliar with the methods of shamanic cultivation.
She hadn't expected the other party to not use their full strength, but rather to have some other feeling. "Taiyuan, Senior Giant Axe still managed to attract some hatred, right?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" the young woman replied casually. "You might as well ask Kong Yu!"
However, True Lord Jiuping answered first, "Hmm, a little, but not much... Perhaps it's because the ritual implements were damaged?"
However, the next moment, another change occurred, and the aura released by the Dao Stele instantly increased significantly.
Qu Jianlei had been trying to connect the Dao Stele, and at this moment, he had a strange realization: the Yunzi Stele is... a little annoying?
He was truly puzzled: "Even the giant axe came to help, why are you still angry?"
Could it be... that you want to eat it all by yourself?
But the next moment, he shook his head and dismissed the absurd idea: Impossible, you'll eat yourself to death!
There was no effective communication between him and the Dao Stele, but he had some understanding of the treasure's nature.
Without going into too much detail, just the fact that the two broken sections of the stele could cause a commotion shows that it cares a lot about its integrity.
Moreover, this is the Fortune Stele! How could you not sense the significance of the Heaven-Opening Axe's intervention?
Qu Jianlei truly didn't expect that although Tong Zu made a move, he didn't use his full strength!
Even with his level of understanding, it would be impossible for him to perceive the subtle differences.
However, as soon as the Dao Stele became agitated, the Möbius strip truly sensed it: "Little Qu, you can't maintain this state for long!"
"Thank you for reminding me, senior. I understand," Qu Jianlei nodded expressionlessly.
But what good is knowing? He has absolutely no influence on the Dao Stele's actions!
So that's all... just knowing!
The intensity of the battle between the Dao Stele and the Skyfall has clearly increased, but the surrounding fluctuations... have only expanded slightly in scope.
Just like Han Wei said: At that level of combat, you're not even worthy of being affected, let alone sensing it!
After an unknown amount of time, Qu Jianlei was suddenly startled: Oh no, the Dao Stele is starting to get damaged!
It's a very subtle feeling. Even though there's no effective communication between the two, he can still confirm it!
Without a second thought, he raised his hand and unleashed a shower of green light that shot straight toward the massive Dao stele.
"Another 20,000!" Song Yue'er clutched her chest, her face contorted in pain. "Master, does your brother... need a doorman?"
She was able to instantly determine the number of those countless specks of light; no wonder she's a money-grubber!
"I'm just a freebie," True Monarch Yugiri said quietly, "When he's bullying men...and dominating women, I can help him hold them back!"
"Stop talking nonsense," Jin Ge said, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them. "The situation is a bit... Is the final battle about to begin?"
In fact, even Tong Zu was a little confused about this scene—why did he suddenly use the life force?
Only Qu Jianlei could perceive the state of the Dao Stele, and he also knew that the replenishment of the Dao Stele by the life force was not a perfect match.
It does work; he had tested it before, and the effect... wasn't bad.
However, the problem is that the quality of the vitality is somewhat lacking, and its effect is negligible.
Even if you could unleash 20,000 attacks with a flick of your wrist, it would still be a drop in the ocean, a mere fraction of the damage...
His purpose in doing this was simply to let the other party know: With me here, you are not fighting alone!
But more than that, he really couldn't do it—I'm not even worthy of being affected!
Weakness is indeed the original sin, but at the same time, he firmly believes that weakness is a matter of ability, while action is a matter of attitude!
The Dao Stele was also very familiar with the green light spots, and it accepted them all without hesitation, causing its aura to... increase slightly once again!
"Do you really want to be a martyr?" Qu Jianlei sighed, sensing the situation on the giant axe's side.
He had previously given up observing the area, and now he's taking one last look, just to make a final decision!
That's right, now is the final moment!
Qu Jianlei had no idea how long the Xuan Zhi Shang could last, but for him, this was the end!
As I said before, when Qu fights, he never follows the opponent's rhythm; he always says, "You fight your way, I fight mine!"
The other party might think that there is still a lot of entanglement to be done, but he will choose a relatively good time and go all in.
The giant axe... couldn't even cut a single slit!
But it doesn't matter. A byproduct is still a byproduct. The real product is in pretty good condition, and the internal damage is at least... not too much.
"Senior," Qu Jianlei sent a divine message to Tong Zu, "I... am going!"
"Oh," the big-headed boy replied casually, then paused, "What do you mean... you went?"
“Your skill in controlling them is exquisite,” Qu Jianlei replied. “I cannot fully comprehend it in such a short time.”
"Fortunately, I've been working hard and have now found my own path... I'm going to give it a try!"
